Thrust calculator

In the field of flight mechanics and aviation, thrust refers to the force generated by an aircraft’s engines or propulsion system that propels the aircraft forward through the air. Thrust is a crucial concept in understanding aircraft performance, especially in terms of acceleration, speed, and the ability to overcome drag and maintain flight.
  • T: Thrust required to maintain a specific flight condition (usually in Newtons or pounds-force).
  • W: Aircraft weight (also known as aircraft gross weight, including the weight of the aircraft itself, fuel, payload, and passengers).
  • CD: Coefficient of drag, which represents the aerodynamic drag force acting on the aircraft as it moves through the air.
  • CL: Coefficient of lift, which represents the efficiency of the wing or airfoil in generating lift.
